    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,757 views

    When the Bible teaches that God is omniscient – that He has complete knowledge – it is not saying that God is bright. It is not saying that He is sharp. It is not even saying that he is a genius. These are the finite expressions of a people severely li

I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more
